City Council will be in charge

The City Attorney's office announcing this afternoon that the City Council will determine the rules for fireworks. That's because neither Iowa law or city code allows for public referendums on issues like this. In fact, the City Attorney says state law on fireworks specifically delegates the rule- making power to cities. This past Monday the council deferred making any changes to its existing ordinance in order to explore the possibility of a public vote.
